Assign it
The role ID is the same in every tenant, so these work as they are. Make it eligible through PIM:
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "RoleEligibilitySchedule.ReadWrite.Directory"
$user = Get-MgUser -UserId "jane.doe@contoso.com"
New-MgRoleManagementDirectoryRoleEligibilityScheduleRequest -BodyParameter @{
Action = "AdminAssign"
Justification = "Needs External Identity Provider Administrator for <reason>"
RoleDefinitionId = "be2f45a1-457d-42af-a067-6ec1fa63bc45"
DirectoryScopeId = "/"
PrincipalId = $user.Id
ScheduleInfo = @{
StartDateTime = (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime().ToString("o")
Expiration = @{ Type = "afterDuration"; Duration = "P180D" }
}
}Who already has it?
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "RoleManagement.Read.Directory"
Get-MgRoleManagementDirectoryRoleAssignment -Filter "roleDefinitionId eq 'be2f45a1-457d-42af-a067-6ec1fa63bc45'" -ExpandProperty Principal |
